villarica i actuelly like, and it always baffled me the fascination with pucon located on the windward side of the lake, when villarica is better situated relative to that very active volcano and has better weather.

that entire mainstreet of pucon is a volcanic red zone. you will see photos hanging in restauraunts in villarica of lava flowing down mainstreet pucon. it is not even theoretical. it has happened regularly; but the developers have maneged to mess with the zoning to stick more people and money in the danger zone. you can kick the dirt in central pucon and find a lava flow from the last erruption.

pucon has been the city of the future for 50+ years, and probably always will be.
